And then the moment passed. I teetered at the edge, and wavered, hesitant.
Had I been a little more weary, my defenses run a little more
threadbare, I know what could have happened. The wrecking ball. On some
level, I want this–and it is
coming. But I’m afraid of it. What happens after the breakdown? For X
number of hours, days (weeks?), I am utterly incapacitated. Useless.
Incoherent. I’m Ron Burgundy inside a glass case of emotion. I have
nothing insightful or conclusive to say, nothing enlightened or
authoritative to do. If this happens, for a time I will just hurt for
this hurting world, and I’ll be incapacitated.
Funny, coming from a guy who so much values his own personal capacity.

I'm motivated to join God in his global reclamation project. He's on the move, setting his sons and daughters free from their places of captivity. And he's partnering with those of us who have been freed to go and free others.

Thanks friend…..
Let’s believe that the hearts of stone we know will become flesh……
Thanks for posting this. Ian’s got some great words, an incredibly gift for openness, and an awesome heart. I like what he says… a lot. I’m trying to think of a way to utilize his story (not just this blog), but his STORY. It really intrigues me.
Ummm, that’s good!
